SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
WARNING
Please read these safety instructions before you operate the equipment.
Indicates a condition that can cause death or serious injury if
WARNING
CAUTION
not avoided.
Indicates a condition that can cause minor or moderate injury
if not avoided.
Warning, Caution
WARNING
Do not open the equipment unless
you are well familiar with electrical
circuits.
Only qualified personnel should work
inside the equipment.
Do not set the course changing
speed too high.
The boat will be turned too sharply at
the course change, which could create
a very dangerous situation.
Do not use the autopilot in the
following situations:
- Harbor entrance or narrow channel
- Where vessels change course often,
such as a cape or small island
Observe the following cautions when
using the autopilot:
- Maintain a vigilant watch
- Watch for drifting of vessel
In an emergency, manually steer the
vessel.
The autopilot cannot avoid vessels, etc.
automatically.
Do not use the SIMULATION mode on
the boat.
The rudder may move suddenly. This is
a special-purpose mode for technicians.
Prohibitive Action
Do not use the ORBIT mode in rough
seas.
Because the boat turns a 360° circle
around the waypoint, a large wave or
strong wind can cause the boat to
capsize.
For the figure-eight mode, confirm that
no object is in the general vicinity
of the waypoint.
The distance from the waypoint to the
turning point depends on boat's speed.
Use the correct fuse.
Use of a wrong fuse can cause fire or
damage the equipment.
In case of power failure, turn off the
autopilot or manually steer the vessel.
Leaving the equipment in the AUTO or
NAV mode during power failure will cause
wear on the rudder mechanism.
WARNING LABEL
A warning label is attached to the processor unit.
Do not remove the label. If the label is missing or
damaged, contact your dealer about replacement.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not
remove cover. No user-serviceable
parts inside.

2.2AUTO Modes
2.2.1AUTO mode
The AUTO mode steers the boat automatically on a course set by the operator.
The AUTO mode will not compensate for the effects of wind or tide, which can push
you off course athwart in the ship direction. Use the AUTO mode for short, straight
voyages. Otherwise switch to the NAV mode.
Tide and WindTide and WindTide and Wind
To get the AUTO mode, do as follows:
1.Direct the boat toward required course.
2.Press the AUTO key to activate the AUTO mode.
Your boat automatically maintains the current course when the AUTO key is
pressed.

2.2.2ADVANCED AUTO mode
The AUTO mode keeps a set course, but your boat’s course can change by the effects
of tide and wind. To adjust for the effects of tide and wind, use the ADVANCED AUTO
mode. The NAVpilot calculates your course according to your current position and
heading, then sets a virtual "waypoint" in its memory to navigate towards. If either tide
or wind begins to push you off course, the NAVpilot corrects your heading accordingly.
Your NAVpilot must be connected to a GPS navigator which outputs position data
(Latitude and Longitude).

To get the ADVANCED AUTO mode, do as follows:
1.In the AUTO mode, press the MENU key to show the menu.

5.Press the MENU key to close the menu.
You can switch between AUTO and ADVANCED AUTO modes by holding down the
AUTO key three seconds to show the message "ADVANCED AUTO ON (OFF)" appears.
Note: How strictly the ADVANCED AUTO mode keeps the course depends on the
NAV MODE setting in the NAV OPTION menu. COURSE/XTE(ECONOMY) keeps the
course within 0.03 NM and XTE(PRECISION) keeps the course within 0.01 NM.

2.3NAV Mode
NAVpilot steers the vessel towards the current waypoint while compensating for the
effects of tide and wind.
When connected to a GPS Navigator, NAVpilot steers the vessel to follow a series of
waypoints in sequence. When you arrive at each waypoint or destination, audible and
visual alerts are activated.
The NAVpilot takes 15 seconds to activate the NAV mode after the NAVpilot receives
the destination information.

pressing the NAV key three seconds. (This feature is not available when [BOTH] is
selected as nav data source on the [NAV DATA SOURCE] menu, set during the installation.
